Mental health apps are a simple way to work on your mental health. Mental health apps aren’t designed to diagnose a condition or substitute care from a mental health professional. Still, they can support your overall mental health. Apps are a convenient way to get extra support between therapy sessions or office visits, and they can offer continued support after graduating from therapy. Mental health apps may provide activities, encouragement, and other techniques to practice daily. Many types are based on research and therapy techniques to provide evidence-based interventions.
